fal-models-catalog — Claude Code skill for choosing fal.ai models
This skill maps a task to a fal.ai endpoint by modality. Use it when you need to choose a model for image, video, audio, or other media work.
npx skills add fal-ai-community/skills --skill fal-models-catalog -a claude-codeWhat fal-models-catalog does
The catalog groups fal.ai endpoints by input and output type, from text-based image creation to video editing and speech transcription. Each modality has a linked reference with curated options for different use cases. The skill also gives a fallback route for searching when the relevant endpoint is missing or does not cover the task.
Endpoint calls use the genmedia CLI. Select an ID from the matching reference, check it with genmedia models --endpoint_id <endpoint_id> --json, then inspect its inputs with genmedia schema <endpoint_id> --json. Use genmedia pricing <endpoint_id> --json when you need cost details. IDs should come from the catalog, not guesswork, and the schema should be inspected before use. Run genmedia init first if the CLI is not installed.
What it helps with
- choose a fal.ai endpoint for text-to-image generation
- find a model for turning an image into video
- inspect an endpoint’s input schema before calling it
- check the listed cost for a selected model
Example prompts for the agent
- Choose a fal.ai endpoint for creating an image from a text prompt.
- Which model can turn this reference image into a video?
- Inspect the schema and pricing for a speech recognition endpoint.
